One of my morning routines is to check on the clusters to see what's happening. I check DX Heat, DX Summit, and Holy Cluster. This morning, I noticed the same station was being spotted over and over nonstop. Holy Cluster was not as bad as the other two, but it still had issues with continued repeat spots. I noticed on Holy Cluster the same station is spotted on SSB, CW and Digi all at the same time. A sure sign of a hack I believe. I'm not sure how long this has been going on, as I just checked this morning.

Good morning Bas and as for why ....well some folks just have nothing else better to do with their time.
Have a good week.

I think 'hacked' is a big word for what is basically a network of servers that trust the input that they get from other servers within that network. Some work is done to improve the trustworthiness of the data in the cluster network, but it seems there are still openings in the network that allow somewhat random data in.
Good afternoon Koos and very nice to hear from you. It was very odd and seemed the spotting cluster was in a loop with the same call being spotted and on different modes all at the same time.
